Background: There have been different biodistribution
of Ga-68 PMSA in normal organs.
Methods: SUVmax and SUVmean values was evuluated
of 66 patients who underwent Ga-68 PSMA,
without radical prostatectomy, relapse in the prostate gland, extensive
metastasis, or metastasis in the target.
Results: The SUVmax and SUVmean values of the
patients included in the study were determined to range from high to low as
bladder, kidney, submandibular gland, parotid salivary gland, duodenum 3rd
part, jejunum, spleen, liver and lachrymal gland. The highest uptake was
observed in the bladder, kidneys and salivary gland.
Conclusions: High PSMA expressions were observed
in the kidney, salivary glands and duodenum 3rd part, medium PSMA
expressions were observed in the liver and lachrymal glands, low PSMA
expressions were observed in normal prostate tissue, stomach, ileum and
pancreas and no PSMA expression was observed in cerebral and cerebellar
cortexes. The bladder should be emptied before examination and reporting and
the proximal small bowel should be examined more carefully as it can show
higher PSMA expression.
